Municipal officials explain the initiative

Mayor Yvan Bourelly, along with Deputy Didier Olivera, who oversees youth affairs, and officials Florence Sauvage and Émilie Beck, explained the goals of the civic project. The council will consist of ten young elected officials, ranging from CM1 to fourth grade, who will serve for two years.

Council members' responsibilities

The young council members will focus on listening to their peers and developing projects for the commune in areas such as sports, environment, culture, and solidarity. They will be accompanied by adults and will learn to debate and collaborate, aiming to realize the goal of "An idea, a project, a realization."

Young people in Saze have until October 17 to submit their candidacy for the youth municipal council. Campaigning will run from October 17 until November 13, during which candidates will present their ideas and try to gain support from their peers.
